I love this too, however I also love knowing that John B. or say Miriam Waddington, or like hundreds of others wrote hers doing social work, and he wrote Dream Songs while being a nomadic prof. There is no quarrel among poets in my view. Or that one's a janitor, and the other a bus driver (the honeymooners as pop poetry? ). Each one struggles. I have no illusions about that , the struggle is uneven. I am a struggle of language desire and money. So then we shall have a great communistic flow of desire and language, the poetry of change.
"and but so, I love knowing that poet X works as a janitor, or has taught freshman comp. the many varied working lives of writing, and not one stuck in academe because that is what is expected of writers.. "
